Comparative Study of Pregnancy Outcomes in Women With COVID-19 Disease During the Three Waves of the Pandemic in Eastern India.

Introduction Healthcare systems around the world were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple waves were experienced by most countries, and clinical symptoms and severity varied between these waves. A COVID-19 infection in pregnant women may result in complications for both the mother and the fetus and thus pose an additional challenge for clinicians.

Co-Infection of Dengue in a Pregnant Woman With COVID-19 Disease.

The pandemic due to severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) was one of the most damaging healthcare emergencies the world has ever seen. Co-infection with dengue virus in COVID-19-positive patients is an additional challenge especially in dengue-endemic areas. Both dengue and COVID-19 infection cause increased morbidity and adverse outcomes in pregnant women, and simultaneous infection of these two illnesses can be further detrimental and sometimes fatal in pregnant women.

Study of the Vertical Transmission of COVID-19 by Using the World Health Organisation Protocol in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Eastern India.

Background: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has established criteria to diagnose vertical transmission in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This study aimed to determine the incidence of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using WHO criteria in a tertiary care centre in eastern India.

Methods: A hospital-based prospective observational study was conducted from June 2021 to February 2022 on women admitted for delivery with a positive nasopharyngeal (NP) swab and a SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.

A Curious Case of Parasitic Fibroid in a Postmenopausal Woman.

Parasitic fibroids or leiomyomas are rare extrauterine benign tumors in women of reproductive age. Often, they are named wandering fibroids or ectopic fibroids. They lack any myometrial connection and obtain their nourishment from other abdominopelvic structures to which they are attached.

Central Placenta Previa With Coexisting Central Cervical Fibroid in Pregnancy: An Obstetrician's Nightmare.

Pregnancy with central placenta praevia and a coexistent cervical fibroid is infrequently encountered in clinical practice. A patient with this unusual combination is a nightmare for any clinician, especially if she presents with obstetric emergencies. In this scenario, there is a high chance of catastrophic obstetric hemorrhage during the peripartum period leading to a fatal outcome.

Pregnancy With SARS-CoV-2 Infection Complicated by Preeclampsia and Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread across the world in a relentless and merciless way. As the pandemic escalates, varied presentations and complications of the disease have been reported from all over the world. Pregnant women fall into a vulnerable group who have been reported to have more severe disease and need of intensive care when compared to non-pregnant women of the same age group.

Maternal Near-Miss as a Surrogate Indicator of the Quality of Obstetric Care: A Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Eastern India.

Background Monitoring severe acute maternal morbidity or maternal near-miss is currently proposed by WHO as a valuable tool to assess the quality of obstetric care and implement new strategies for improving maternal health. Aim and objective The objective of this study was to assess and analyze the incidence of maternal near-miss (MNM) and maternal death (MD) at Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, a tertiary care hospital in eastern India. Material and method This study was a prospective observational study conducted at Tata Main Hospital from November 2016 to October 2019.

A Rare Case of Pregnancy Complicated by Uterine Prolapse and Cervical Fibroid.

Uterine prolapse and cervical fibroid are two common gynecological conditions but relatively uncommon in pregnant women. However, these conditions can complicate normal pregnancy by significantly altering its course and outcome. Obstetricians should, therefore, familiarize themselves with the presentations, challenges, and outcomes of these unique situations to effectively manage the patient in the perinatal period.

Vitamin D Level in Women with Uterine Fibroid: An Observational Study in Eastern Indian Population.

Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency has been proposed to be a risk factor in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroid in few recently published studies conducted in Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, no study has ever addressed similar query in Indian women where hypovitaminosis is very common.

Methods: A total of 144 women of age group 20-50 years belonging to Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India, were included in the study.
